2. The authoritarian tone adopted by Creon towards Oedipus in the play’s final
scene and the ease with which he assumes the responsibilities of a king
(1550-1677) contrast starkly with his submissive posture in the earlier
speech (651-690) in which he argues that it is better to be a mere prince
than a king and that he has no designs on the throne. Write a thesis-based
essay in which you agree or disagree with the following claim: “Creon’s
speech in the final scene confirms that his first speech in fact comprises a
subtle critique of Oedipus as a king and as an intellect.”
